i have to say, i was interested thinking about mandela and obama yesterday, i went back to obama's books to see, oh, he must have talked about the mandela example in the book. not so much. there was one mention of mandela in each book. i was sort of surprised at that given as he has said that he was a figure of -- a model to him as a young man when he learned of his struggle. >> i wonder how much because mandela was the first black president of south africa and president obama is the first black president of america, the drawing of parallel lines is somewhat inevitable. the president remarked on in the speech, he will never be the man madiba was nor does he propose that he is. i think he's been hesitant to step into the line of inheritance, if you will, maya, established. >> the context is totally different. we have to understand that. nelson mandela after being arrested in 1962, spending 26 years in prison, spending five years negotiating peace before he was released. obama elected in a highly democratic nation, even with its racial divides. there's just no comparison. it actually doesn

i remember interviewing president obama about income inequality in the fall of 2007. what he was doing in this speech is making a broad argument for government action across the board, not just on things like the minimum wage, but also domestic investments and infrastructure and education, job training. also his health care law. he's always seen the aforfordab care act as one element of an agenda to give a foundation of stability and security economically under people as they try to get into the middle class. he was reiterating that argument today. as you said, the shift to a more offensive argument shows how key it was to get that website working by the december 1st deadline because that is something that allows the administration to shift and make a different kind of argument. we will see, of course, whether or not as the president pointed out in his speech, whether they achieve the enrollment numbers and the mix of enrollment, the kind of people they want enrolling in those exchanges to make them financially viable, but he's making an argument that once that takes
